Hello! I'm a recently returned player, and my husband and I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition of the original SW:ToR release some years ago.
After getting myself reoriented to the game, I noticed that the Advanced Black-Yellow Crystal can only be added to Collection as a Level 7 Fortitude item (+4 Endurance). Then I found the Pre-Order Crystal Vendor (Reclamation Officer Tunms on the Imperial Fleet). However, while I could purchase the War Hero's (Mastery) version of this crystal at 2 ranks (+31, +41) without level restriction, all other variants of this crystal are level locked. This means that an Advanced Black-Yellow Eviscerator's Crystal cannot be used until level 47.
In comparison with the way that all other crystals now work (+41 STAT that scales with level added to collections), this feels pretty bad. What I would like to suggest is that the Advanced Black-Yellow Crystals be updated to have the same four versions as all other crystals, IE:
No Level Restrictions
Eviscerating (+41 Critical, scaling)
War Hero's (+41 Mastery, scaling)
Hawkeye (+41 Power, scaling)
Indestructible (+41 Endurance, scaling)
It would also be nice if these versions could be added to the collections pane with all of our other crystals, but more importantly I think a lot of players who pre-ordered might just like to choose what stat their crystal has before level 47.
Thank you for reading!
Edit: Corrected that the Advanced Black-Yellow Crystals were a pre-order item, not a Collector's Edition item.
